I just found out that Tim will be in town for a thing

I tried to convince my DH that we should make the yearly trip to Dallas the weekend this was happening, but it didn't work with his schedule.

I love that you give framed art as presents (I treasure mine!).

Me, too! Liv's got a great print from Ginger hanging over her bed. I should really take a picture of it. And Owen's got a wonderful Noah's Ark print (I'm at a loss at to which buffista sent it) which we got framed and looks awesome.

Victor, you are indeed a little hottie. You look good either way, but I'm gonna shock myself and say I prefer the facial hair.

I am not allowed out on my own again after this weekend. I am trouble.

But you're still allowed out with me, correct? I'm trouble too. Perhaps we cancel each other out.

Speaking of people visiting me. Maria! I just found out that Tim will be in town for a thing while you are here. Comic book boyfriend and I are going, you want we should include you in our plans?

Yesyesyesyes. Erm, I probably should ask, "When?" first.

edit: Google is my friend. Damn, I don't get in to DFW until quarter of two. Bummed now.

Congratulations to your father, billytea! That's quite the honor.

Please do! However, I am not to be blamed if you wind up at the divey gay bar singing with a dude in a Haiwiian shirt and a wig and making out with the bartender. You have been warned.

But DJ! I thought I was going to have new experiences in Dallas!!

starts pricing flights to Dallas anyway...

(My weekend was one of those where I ended up air-guitaring with the bartender in the Iron Maiden shirt and making out with the wee gay boys in a bar that allows smoking.)

Wow, billytea! Mad props to your dad!

So, just been to see the SATC movie, after a pre-movie party involving a lot of cosmos and not so many nibbles. (I mean, I did scoff a fair number of shrimp, but I was still very head-spinny with the cosmos. Ack. But didn't fall over. Go me!) Also, we all looked FABulous, dahling.

The TV show itself really isn't my bag, although I've stumbled across it a few times, and I didn't hate it. Mostly I was paralyzed with the not caring. The movie - more of the same, really. I was struck at one point by how very much Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a tranny, and how very much the four of them seem to be gay men rather than women. To me. Also, my God, there were a lot of very very ugly clothes in this film. Very ugly. Pretty much the only one of the four chicks I much like is Miranda, but then she acted like rather a dickhead in Mexico, so not so much with that either. No, not Miranda - that's the redhead, right? Charlotte. Charlotte, the pretty one - although possibly I am blinded by the fact that she is a very pretty & fairly nice-seeming brunette. Miranda's husband was the only person in the film I much took to, actually. Otherwise - yeah, paralyzed with the not caring. YMMV.

Absolutely, Maria! Though judging from my time in SF trouble does not cancel trouble out. I think it magnifys it.

Buffistas! All your troublemakers are belong to me!

bar that allows smoking.

And yet when I was there, I was huddled under an awning with 10 of my new best friends! And not making out with wee gay boys! Looks like I should start pricing flights for a return trip.

Congratulations to BT's dad!!!

I'm escaping this heat and headed to Mom's for the day as soon as I am caffeinated enough to drive.

high-fives DJ.

There's a few bars that still allow smoking, or at least look the other way. Usually in the more sketch neighborhoods, of course.

Also, my God, there were a lot of very very ugly clothes in this film. Very ugly

Oh, good, I'm not the only one to go "Am I missing something? That's supposed to be something I want to wear? People wear that and don't get hazard pay for it?"
